Multiple Black Transgender Women Murdered in February 
------------------------------------------------------

At least two black transgender women have been murdered in New Orleans
in recent days. On Monday, police say Ciara Mc Elveen was stabbed to
death-only two days after 33-year-old Chyna Gibson was fatally shot
outside a shopping center. They are the fifth and sixth reported murders
of transgender women this year. Earlier this month, 24-year-old Keke
Collier was killed in Chicago, and 23-year-old Jo Jo Striker was
murdered in Toledo, Ohio.
